Gluten-Free Corn Cake

1 cup coarse cornmeal
1/3 cup sugar (choose your preferred type: white, brown, or coconut sugar)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water (or just enough to moisten the mixture)

Hydrate the Cornmeal:
In a mixing bowl, combine the coarse cornmeal and water. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened, then let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid.Add Sweetness and Flavor:
After resting, mix in the sugar and salt. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed, then let the mixture sit for an additional 5 minutes.Prepare for Cooking:
Transfer the mixture to a small microwave-safe glass dish or ramekin, pressing it down gently to level the surface.Cook the Cake:
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Check the consistency; if needed, microwave for an additional 15-30 seconds until firm and cooked through.Serve Warm:
Enjoy the corn cake while it's warm! Top with a dollop of butter, a drizzle of honey, or your favorite jam for an extra touch of flavor.
Tips:
For a richer flavor, substitute water with milk or coconut milk.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract for a delightful twist.
